The white chickens are usually for meat, like a cornish cross, and they are typically caged. The one in the video looks to be free range and definitely not a cornish cross.
Would still try to pet. Can’t tell me he is soft and cute and expect anything else
No they can actually fly, it’s just most birds are encouraged not to by their enclosure. So they simply don’t have the muscles to get much air. If you were to take the time to build up those muscles they would be able to fly.
No, they can actually fly. Chickens bred and kept for meat have trouble flying, but that is because they are too heavy for that very reason. Or they were kept in an enclosure that they could not exercise their wings. They don’t have the muscles to get off the ground. Parrots kept in a too small cage without being let out have the same problem. They could fly if they were allowed to build up those muscles.
No, many birds don’t migrate but can still fly.
They are ground birds so they spend most of their time on the ground, similar to turkeys and grouse. Domesticated chickens fly a bit less because of breeding for more meat. However, to say they can’t fly is just not true. A better choice would have been; a kiwi, steamer ducks, cassowary, kakapo, weka, takahe, or an emu.
Chickens can fly.
Ok, I’m just going to add this here for everyone. Free range + not being a fast growing freak of nature breed = birds that perfer the ground but can absolutely fly. Chickens flying

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do horses allow humans to ride on their backs?
31·10 days agoThe same reasons dogs work for us. They are domesticated animals, selective breeding for thousands of years. Then training, teach them when they are young to do complex tasks. They then enjoy the tasks because it makes us happy. Think of sled dogs, or seeing eye dogs. Not exactly a natural thing for them, but once they are trained they really enjoy it.

One of my favorite ‘salads’ is jello, mini marshmallows, cool whip, and canned mandarin oranges. I was told it has fruit, so it counts as a salad. A staple at any church potluck.
Comparing free porn to Netflix is the problem. Pornhub vs. YouTube is more comparable.
